Develop an understanding and foster an appreciation for the ecological marine environment found in the urban environment in which the students live. The Charleston peninsula is surrounded by three important bodies of water that create a unique environment. This marine environment is home to a variety of marine animals and birds. It is also filled with bridges, docks, and water craft that support recreation and careers. The Charleston Harbor is home to two important ports. The ultimate intent and goal of this project is to develop a lifelong understanding, appreciation, and love of this unique local marine environment.
